Trezor Wallet Security 🔐

PIN & Passphrase

Choose a 4–10 digit PIN for basic protection. For stronger security, enable a passphrase (a user-defined extra word that creates a hidden wallet). A passphrase adds protection even if seed is compromised — but must be stored/remembered carefully.

Seed Backup Best Practices

• Write your recovery seed on durable material (metal/plated backup) or paper stored in a safe.
• Use multi-location storage (split backup) only if you understand the trade-offs.
• Never digitize your seed (no cloud, photos, or digital notes).

Firmware & Authenticity

Only update firmware via Trezor Suite and verify device signatures. Firmware checks ensure the device is genuine and not running malicious code.

Defend Against Phishing

• Always verify URLs and bookmarks for trezor.io or suite.trezor.io.
• Never enter seed phrases on web pages — only on the device when prompted.
• Use browser privacy extensions and avoid unknown browser extensions when accessing crypto sites.
